Paul in Ephesus

Acts 19

1 And it happened that while t Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed u through the inland 1 country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. 2 And he said to them, v "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said, "No, w we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." 3 And he said, x "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into y John's baptism." 4 And Paul said, y "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people z to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus." 5 On hearing this, a they were baptized in 2 the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And b when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and c they began speaking in tongues and d prophesying. 7 There were about twelve men in all.

8 And e he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, reasoning and persuading them f about the kingdom of God. 9 g But when some became stubborn and h continued in unbelief, speaking evil of i the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus. 3 10 This continued for j two years, so that k all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
